    As I said, in the real world. getting IT department to create separate policies for QA and other users does not happen or it happens rarely, especially in the age of ultra security. Never happened in more than 5 companies that I have seen.

     

    Besides, there are so many tools in the market which doesn't ask you to disable group policies etc. to run tests. Yes, there will usually be 2 or 3 things to set, but the requirements mentioned by TestComplete takes 3-4 hours for 1 test machine. Why can't they enable the Windows firewall rules during Installation ?

     

    Anyhow, I have moved the machine out of the domain to make it work for now. But some of the commentators here seem to be full of closed minds when it comes to new questions and doesnt seem to realize that TestComplete makes many easy things (that are guaranteed in other tools) difficult to implement and make one spend time on doing the workaround rather than creating automated tests.

Perhaps if you explain what you're trying to do, some screenshots showing your setups, and some more information about the environment, we can help you figure it out.  This tool has been in development since at least the early 2000's (I've been using it for 16 years now).  Yes, it has a good bit of configuration, but there are plenty of folks who are using it successfully so there is some value there.

 

Share what you can and we'll be more than happy to help.
